This 1971 study by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) is a survey of employment practices, and policies in member schools. Questionnaires were sent to 721 schools yielding a response rate of 84 percent. Data were broken down into five categories for analysis: boarding schools, day schools, enrollment, salary ranges, and geographic location. The report follows the format of the questionnaire, with actual questions repeated and answered in the original order and the survey results listed. Starting with general information about the schools polled, the results are analyzed under 10 headings: employment practices of the schools, compensation, education of faculty children, fringe benefits, personnel services, organzational climate, teacher evaluation, vacation and absence, professional development, and food and housing for faculty.
